MegaChef 12-Quart Digital Pressure Cooker vs Ninja PossibleCooker PRO Plus 9-in-1

Buy the Ninja PossibleCooker PRO Plus if you want one pot that sears, bakes and slow cooks with a dial you can read at a glance. Buy the MegaChef 12-Quart if capacity is the deciding factor and you mainly pressure cook, steam or slow cook big batches. The Ninja has the stronger track record: 4.4 from 119 ratings against 4.8 from just 12, and its 500°F oven-safe pot and dishwasher-safe parts are real advantages. The MegaChef's 12-quart pot and 15 presets suit large families, but its 90-day replacement-only warranty and non-dishwasher-safe pot are weak points.

  • Choose the MegaChef 12-Quart if you feed a large household or batch-cook and want a big programmable pot with pressure cooking, steaming and saute in one unit.
  • Choose the Ninja PossibleCooker PRO Plus if you want a versatile sear-bake-slow-cook pot with simple dial controls, a 500°F oven-safe pot and dishwasher-safe parts.

What reviewers say

MegaChef 12-Quart Digital Pressure Cooker

  • 4.8 / 512 ratings

Only 12 ratings are in, averaging 4.8 out of 5, so the record is thin. Buyers who rate it well point to the large capacity and the preset programs.

What people mention
  • CapacityPraisedOwners like the 12-quart size for big batches and family meals.
  • PresetsPraisedThe 15 one-touch programs are described as simple to use.
  • SizeCriticisedThe unit is large and heavy, so it needs dedicated counter space and clearance.
  • WarrantyCriticisedThe 90-day replacement-only coverage is short for an appliance this size.

Ninja PossibleCooker PRO Plus 9-in-1

  • 4.4 / 5119 ratings

Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 119 ratings, the PossibleCooker PRO Plus is generally well received for its size and versatility. Owners like searing and slow cooking in one pot and the ability to bake with the included plate. Complaints center on its bulk and on care for the nonstick surface.

What people mention
  • CapacityPraisedOwners say the 8.5-quart pot handles large batches and family meals with room to spare.
  • VersatilityPraisedReviewers like searing, slow cooking, steaming, and baking in a single appliance.
  • SizeCriticisedIts 18-inch depth and 12.6-inch width make it bulky on counters and in cabinets.
  • WeightMixed

Questions and answers

Which is better for pressure cooking?
The MegaChef. It has a locking lid and a pressure-cook timer up to 99 minutes. The Ninja does not pressure cook at all; it sears, bakes, slow cooks and steams.
Which holds up better over time?
The Ninja has the larger owner sample at 4.4 from 119 ratings and a one-year warranty. The MegaChef's 90-day replacement-only warranty is short, and its 4.8 comes from only 12 ratings.
Is the Ninja worth stepping up to?
If you want searing at up to 500°F, baking, dishwasher-safe parts and simpler dial controls, yes. If you need 12 quarts and true pressure cooking, the MegaChef fits better.
Which is easier to clean?
The Ninja, whose components are dishwasher-safe. The MegaChef's cooking pot and trivet must be washed by hand.
Which suits a large family?
The MegaChef's 12-quart pot is built for big batches and meal prep. The Ninja's 8.5 quarts is enough for most families but tighter for batch cooking.
Does either need special clearance?
The MegaChef needs roughly 17 inches of vertical clearance under cabinets. The Ninja is about 10.6 inches tall and fits under most cabinets.
